So you basically a bit more of Nintendo in the industry?
Guess it would be fine, even though I also give value to uniqueness.

You know what?
Pretty much.

Not to the point of making it and the other companies' lose their identity, because clearly there are lots pf customers who like what they are doing right now, but I feel like Nintendo nailed the meaning of "videogame" in the last years.

That's just an honest opinion, can't really complain too much about modern gaming, after all.

I also wanna add that I think a healthy balance between old and new is essential. Nintendo suffered a lot by refusing to adapt to the modern market in the past, and I think they are in their best period in years thanks to their reinvention, and by also following trends set by other companies.

Splatoon, Arms and the new big online communities for Mario Kart, Smash and so on wouldn't be a thing if they didn't learned how to properly do online gaming (because we can agree the Wii online system was messy, but it was a start).

Nintendo is nailing on their marketing, modernising it in many ways, such as social media integration, Amiibo, mobile games, themed parks and the confirmation of films and anime based on their IPs. Also shows how they are being more open for new companies to help market their IPs, as you can see with their partnerships with Activision and Ubisoft.

As a last example, you can see this modernisation on their traditional products themselves. The Switch really feels like a console of modern times, mixing (a bit of) powerful hardware with portability. Both Breath of the Wild and Mario Odyssey really innovative and change on the games in a way never seen before.

But, at the games themselves, they never forget to stick to their identity. Can you understand me?

Personally I'd rather have this as PS4 exclusive. If it comes to other systems, I'll be okay with that since others get to play Crash. But personally I think PS4 exclusive sounds right. (After all these were PS1 exclusive games when they came out)

If it comes to Switch

That would just be N.Sane!!!!!

I feel that, but there were precious few other systems at the time that the PS1 was popular. Even so, stuff was cheap back then. These days, I'd hate to drop a few hundred bucks on a console I wasn't really interested in just for one game (and let's face it, if I didn't already have a PS4, I would by the end of the month).

I probably won't preorder it, but damn do i want it

What do I know, I was born in '97 lmao

So I have a possibly stupid question, but I have not kept up with this game and know next to nothing about it.

Is this actually going to be available in physical form, or is it download only? I'm new to Playstation and not familiar yet with how they do things, so if they don't even do download-only stuff, forgive me. But I can't seem to find a clear answer to this question, so I'm guessing it's physical, but I just want to make sure.

You can buy a physical copy.

Alright, thanks!

WHOA.

regarding post above

So, our first DLC got leaked...

This isn't technically a spoiler since it's on the back of the box, but I'll spoiler tag it just in case:

Reveal Spoiler

"100+ levels"

The original trilogy did not have a combined total of 100 levels, it had around 98 levels, IIRC. So extra levels confirmed.

Can't wait to get my hands On my copy next Friday!

Wouldn't boss stages take it to 100+? Asking out of genuine curiosity.

Sorry for putting that in spoilers if it wasn't necessary. I'm really not sure if it was or not!

I really personally like the design of the pupils, it's like old school 30s cartoon style pie slice eyes. It gives a sense of appeal.
It would neat to see a hybrid, with Crash's american eyes, japanese pupils

QUICKLY, NON DEMO LIVESTREAm


GO GO GO!!!!!

Some people are streaming the leaked game, but Acti is taking down footage. Don't expect streams and soundtrack rips to last this first week.

Or not? Don't wanna be spoiled on dat stuff ya know?

Well, I mean, half of the fun of a game like this is seeing VV's take on all these different levels. Also, yeah, I've never played these games before. A majority of the levels will be brand new to me.

Still, it was a bit of a dumb statement

wtf some of these streamers are terrible, I saw somebody die at papu papu 4 times

To be fair... they did make Papu Papu slightly harder by giving him more health. That being said, I barely play these games and I could beat Papu Papu in an instant

Welcome to my world, where I'm not getting a game but I look for a stream anyway and manage to run into some of the worst players possible. Sonic Lost World comes to mind where the guy with a street broken copy spent 30 minutes on the last lava world level only to restart the entire thing because they accidentally used a checkpoint skip. There are others but that one teach me that patience and waiting for someone competent are way more worth it.

The future of Crash is unclear for now http://www.dailystar.co.uk/tec...DLC-secret-CoCo

Have they taken out some of the Cortex holograms in Crash 2? I noticed in a live stream that the hologram after the fifth crystal never appeared.

this official remix of slippery climb is better imo

What if the game(s) is bad? I mean we've haven't seen early reviews or proper previews and remember how Yooka-Laylee, a proper 3D platformer, wasn't well received? The N. Sane Trilogy is a remaster of pseudo-3D games. The first one in particular has not aged well.

Is the return of the colourful 3D collect-a-thons with cute mascots just a bubble? Because I don't want these boring collect-a-thons about boring generic men in static empty sandboxes, in which you hold down a button over tiny highlighted garbage you get two sticks for crafting.

This may very well mean we won't see Crash Team Racing or the Spyro trilogy being remastered.

Honest Trailer Crash Bandicoot. I LOVE the ending part.

This is what I'm talking about. We're all gonna say the N. Sane trilogy is bad and I hate the thought. I don't want Crash and Spyro to be 90s PS1 nostalgia. They used to stood alongside Gran Turismo, Metal Gear Solid, Final Fantasy VII and Tekken 3 as some of the best PS1 games ever.

Honest Game Trailers are always sarcastic riffing for comedic value, they've done this before with Skyrim and GTA V

Did you never heard of an review embargo?
I'm pretty sure Crash has a review embargo like every big Activion game.

Oh I know what an embargo and I also know most of these reviews let you know what these games are really like (e.g. Yooka-Laylee) and that most Activision games that aren't Call of Duty (and formerly Guitar Hero) aren't exactly well received.

I mean, Skylanders is also from Activision and always got good reviews (well, except Giants for 3DS).

^Skylander games are dungeon crawlers like Diablo, Crash and Spyro are 3D platformers.

Love the end of that honest trailer Nathan Drake should meet Tae Kwon Crow... Yes please!

Maybe no Activision games isn't the right sentence but I still don't trust them. Look how they handled remasters of Call of Duty 4 and the Prototype games. The Activision name brand combined with modern 3D platformers (that aren't Mario or Ratchet & Clank) not adapting to modern times.

You are correct in thinking that. There's a reason why that was removed though; that particular dialogue had Cortex tell Crash that he would be attacked travelling between warp rooms, which isn't the case in the remake as they changed the boss encounters to work like Crash 3.

Once Hat in Time and Mario Oddessy come out and review well, colorful and likeable videogame characters and games will ultimately be a thing of the past. As for this game reviewing poorly? Trust me, regardless of quality, it is going to review poorly.
